that's the thing that always got me..the hoodie thing. is it just a black guy in a black hoodie that scares white people? or is it any hoodie? those ed hardy joints perhaps? maybe those hella slim ones jim jones wears? can you really fear someone in a body hugging hoodie? the bape hoodies with the face zip and the monster head? when in fashion does the threat reach amber alert?

Taken to task?
There are only 30 teams in the NBA. And guess what? A lot of these rich, white owners have some type of racist views. A lot of bosses do. It's something that a lot of PoC just accept until it's directly effecting them or it's too much to handle. What exactly did you want them to do? Were they supposed to teach Sterling the errors of his ways? Start a boycott with little "solid" evidence in a league where all the owners are buddy-buddy? The only reason this played out how it did was because of the giant social media storm that came along with it. There's no guarantee that happens if Paul/Griffin/Doc do something. If there's no social media storm, those guys get villianized for costing the team games, for not thinking of the fans, for ruining their careers.
What did you want them to do? And when?
Doc Rivers basically sold his soul to coach CP3, Blake, and another chance at a title. He made a comment at his presser saying "things are different now" regarding Sterling, which obviously they weren't. He just wanted to tell himself that.

you see a lot of white people making ridiculous statements by reaching for equivalents that just don't match up
you ever hear the "well black people are racist too. they feel like they can say the n word freely, but then get mad when white people use it"
you ever hear that one? that's a shining example of what that quote above me means
A day without basketball and it turns into the race thread.
no, the problem with cuban's words isn't timing. the problem is that he's making blanket statements about situations that his dumbasse can't comprehend or even has business talking about. it's either a pretty arrogant move or a move completely lacking self-awareness. i say a bit of both
the glaring problem is that he tried to equivocate two different scenarios (black guy hoodie vs white shaved head guy w/tattoos) by rationalizing the prejudices of black people vs that of white people. those two examples are just not alike and do nothing to substantiate his argument. they make him look dumb - like he doesn't get it. and he doesn't
beside all that though - why would you want to give any creedence to the words of a known racist like sterling by attempting to making it look like his bias is equivalent to the bias of others? why is it looking like he's caping for a racist? what point is he trying to make? that everyone is prejudiced? ok, so what now? should the rest of us ease up or let sterling and people like him off the hook because we have biases of our own? as far as i know most people ain't trying to systematically deny "people of color" the way sterling (a billionaire) has in his business practices over many, many years
Next is nas vs jay zA day without basketball and it turns into the race thread.

But from a purely basketball perspective, things were different. Sterling was spending more freely, letting his basketball people run things without interference and generally being hands off except for showing up to games. That's a lot different from the situation going on when Doc played for the Clippers.
